Extension summary

Analyze keywords

SelectionSK is an extension which automatically pops up the user menu with useful tools (copy, search, translation, highlight, etc.) when the text is selected with the mouse. The idea beyond the extension is that the text is always selected with the purpose, so it is more convenient to automatically popup the menu on selection rather than do it in two steps (select and right mouse click). It's easy, extremely convenient and highly configurable. Give it a try! Let me know if you want other functions added.

Note: During initialization the extension will create a 'SelectionSK' bookmark folder under 'Other Bookmarks' and populate it with search and translation urls. Please modify this folder according to your needs. Occasionally, on first installation, extension may receive doubled notifications from browser and show doubled items. In that case please restart a browser.

In addition, the selected text can be copied to clipboard automatically. ✓ Send selected text to pre-configured bookmarks. There are default search\translate\dictionary bookmarks (StartPage, Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, Wolfram|Alpha, Wikipedia, Google Maps, Google Images), in addition you can create your own. A lot of pre-configured bookmarks are available on the support site. It is extremely power tool and you can fully adopt it to your own needs - use it for everything from image search to currency convertor. ✓ Right mouse button click opens bookmark with quoted selected text aka 'phrase search' ✓ Middle mouse button click opens bookmark and highlight all occurrences of selected text.

This extension is very very helpful, but unfortunately the developer stopped working/updating, and it still has some bugs. So it seems there's no way to get a better and bug free version any more. The extension is so good, I would even pay for a pro version, but without any more development it's simply dead. :-(

Все хорошо, поставил бы 5 звезд, но нет возможности отключить лишние поисковики в закладках. От чего панель становится слишком перегруженной. Вот у вас даже на первом скрине это видно. Или хотя бы поставить вместо startpage свой поисковик. Меняю на 5 звезд! Отличнейшее расширение. Автор Вам в инструкции на русском надо бы дописать, что лишние поисковики убираются из закладок браузера. А также можно свои ссылки поставить. И разве что еще хотелка, если можете сделать, то чтоб по правой кнопке, были отдельно настройки. Двойное нажатие укороченные закладки, по правой кнопке расширенное меню. А также я из вашего другого расширения SearchSK оставил поиск и добавил ссылки быстрого доступа к сайтам. Молодец! Очень полезные расширения!

This's the very good, but still have bug We just need a better instruction for user to modify the extension. I firstly installed, but see it too many search engines and language tools, then I deleted. Then I tried again and discover that I could modify as I need, and Yeah!, I love it But then I found out a bug that when you need to select a big text (need to press Shift and roll down), you can't select as normal. After turn this extension off, can copy as normal
